At Pembroke Academy we believe children can reach their full potential with a great college-prep education and a strong moral focus program. Our goal is to help children develop the knowledge, skills, and moral strength they need to succeed in high-school, college, and in life.
Each National Heritage Academies school practices one moral focus virtue each month. Here is what one of our Detroit sister-schools does to practice the virtue of compassion:
In honor of Veteran’s Day, students and staff of Detroit Enterprise Academy (DEA) made more than 1,500 Lunches of Love after school to be distributed to homeless veterans.
“This was an amazing event where our students got to put their moral focus virtues into practice,” said Chanavia Patterson, principal of DEA. “This month our moral focus is gratitude. This was one way our students could put into action their gratitude for veterans and what they have done for our country.”
The community service project was the fourth year the school partnered with Brown Bag Lunches of Love (IBBL0L), who donated many of the food items for the lunches.
The founder of IBBLOL, Diane Renee Souillere, distributed the lunches to veterans at the Detroit Rescue Mission on Veteran’s Day.
We look forward to providing opportunities at Pembroke Academy for our students to show the moral focus virtues.
